Well its a Yam for me at squires this year,,, it will be an all blue afair with Pauls DT175 -Foamys DT50.

Got it from rick brett,[ el-presidente of triples club] He imports containers [ triples], and fills them of good clean bikes, :yeah: to make up the load,,,, heres me picking it up from Orkney member Les , at Dunkeld woods on A9 , as he was heading north,

Got her stripped, [great these rainy days] Now "its on a Wiseco 2.00mm overbored. Small end was goosed, Now" its a 1M1- 1977.

Model, engine is 2N6 = 1979 F model [ cdi] but its got points,,, :eusa_think: . so either the casings have been shifted or the 2N6 engine had no ignition , and the"ve fitted the 1M1 points,,, ,, any way she starts good, had run down drive , and all gears good,

So , shes stripped for a minor resto, :rolleyes:

Well done with the purchase, nice clean bike and a nicer colour than the US yellow model, should look nice when its done.

I may have some handlebar indicators about , no brackets though.
